Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Metrics
This press release contains Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss), which is a Non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to measure the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is contained herein. To the extent required, statements disclosing the definition, utility, and purpose of this measure is also set forth herein.
Definition:
Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss) represents the Company’s GAAP operating loss excluding non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, and change in the value of contingent earnout as well as any non-recurring charges.
Utility and Purpose:
The Company discloses Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss) because this Non-GAAP measure is used by management to evaluate our business, measure its operating performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss) is useful for investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as its management. However, Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss) is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP operating loss or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Using this Non-GAAP measure to analyze our business would have material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. In addition, although other companies in our industry may report a measure titled Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss), this measure may be calculated differently from how we calculate this Non-GAAP financial measure, which reduces its overall usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these inherent limitations, you should consider Non-GAAP Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss) alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Castellum, Inc. Announces First Quarter Financial Results and Provides Forward Guidance
Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.
Castellum, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE-American: CTM), a cybersecurity, electronic warfare, data analytics, software, and IT services company focused on the federal government, announces highlights of its operating results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023, and provides expected revenue guidance for the 12-month period April 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $9.9 million. Gross profit was $4.0 million. U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) operating loss inclusive of all non-cash and non-recurring charges was $4.7 million. Full financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, will be published later today May 15, 2023, via Form 10-Q at www.sec.gov.
Management uses a Non-GAAP measure, Recurring Cash Operating Profit (Loss), as an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. This Non-GAAP measure was approximately ($0.5 million) for the first quarter and excludes non-cash charges, such as stock option and warrant expense, of $3.7 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.5 million. Please see details in the chart below.
“We continue to focus on growing our prime contract work by winning new contract vehicles and exploiting those vehicles which we have won or acquired,” said Mark Fuller, President and CEO of Castellum. “Revenue was good for the quarter at just under $10 million and gross margin remains strong at north of 40%. Our bottom line is not where we want it to be, and we will be taking actions to improve our cost structure and profitability. We completed our previously announced acquisition of GTMR, a $10 million revenue company. The acquisition is accretive and provides a contract vehicle with which we are already pursuing new customer opportunities, one of which we expect to close in the third quarter of this year.”
For the first time, Castellum is also providing forward revenue guidance to investors (see Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements). “We expect to generate revenue of between $51 million and $56 million over the next twelve months from April 2023 to March 2024, up nicely from the $42 million we generated in 2022,” said Mr. Fuller. “We have a solid pipeline of current and new opportunities, we get the benefit of the GTMR acquisition for the full 12-months, and we are confident in our ability to grow revenue unless the federal government slows down due to budget negotiations, the debt ceiling, or some other reason. We plan to update our revenue guidance at least quarterly, as events merit.”
